I just noticed that one of the news communities here discourage the use of least biased/centrist news sources and I saw some people who put that they hate centrists in their bios.

All is that is kind of weird to me and does not make sense, as I thought that all sides should encourage ideas from centrists and least biased sources.

Is there is something that I miss here?

Why not supporting illegal immigration, social handouts and calling a guy in a dress a man doesn't make me a target for left-wing nutters?

Wow with a response like that it's almost like you are maybe being intellectually dishonest with your arguments huh.

[–] fart_pickle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why? Is it because I did the same thing you did but my response did not meet your standards?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're the one that made the statement. You said your opinions make you a target for left wing people, which is unsubstantiated, and not a target for right-wing people. If you can't back that up then why did you make the statement? When I asked you about it you deflected. So excuse me if I am somewhat suspicious as to the honesty of your arguments.

Could you quote (with a context) what I wrote that made me dishonest? I have a feeling that you are nitpicking few words from my whole comment and try to make me look bad.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Again, no answer. You want to know what makes you look intellectually dishonest, other than the fact that you remove the word intellectually from my accusation, this right here. Twice now you've been asked to explain and back up your assertion, and twice now you have not even attempted to. Shall we go for three?

[–] fart_pickle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see there's no point in continuing this discussion. Don't want to support your claim? Fine, do your thing. I'm done entertaining you.
